Frist time user needs advise

[Information Vision]

Hi

 

I have  a vb.net winform app that uses SUB Main in module modMain as
start-up.

 

I have copied log4net.dll and log4net.xml files to the application main
folder. I have added log4net.dll to application references.

 

I have added below configuration in file Logging.Xml and have placed it in
the application main folder. 

 

Logging.Xml -- BEGIN

<log4net>

    <appender name="Console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">

        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

            <!-- Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number
-->

            <conversionPattern value="%5level [%thread] (%file:%line) -
%message%newline" />

        </layout>

    </appender>

    

    <appender name="RollingFile"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

        <file value="example.log" />

        <appendToFile value="true" />

        <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />

        <maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />

 

        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

            <conversionPattern value="%level %thread %logger -
%message%newline" />

        </layout>

    </appender>

    

    <root>

        <level value="DEBUG" />

        <appender-ref ref="Console" />

        <appender-ref ref="RollingFile" />

    </root>

</log4net>

Logging.Xml -- END

 

My questions are;

 

1. In modMian I added the following line

 

Private ReadOnly log As ILog = LogManager.GetLogger(GetType(xxxx))

 

What do I enter in place of xxxx?

 

2. How do I tell my app to use Logging.Xml for configuration from the
application main folder?

 

Thanks

 

Regards
